- Becoming a professor at the public university system is PURE HELL. You need a doctorate, endless papers being published in relevant scientific media and many, many, many more requirements. I have someone in my family who took YEARS to build up a resume big enough for the requirements. Oh, and those requirements would change retroactively if needed, so it could happen that you finally got enough merits aquired only for the Ministry to change said requirements, add a shitton more and send you back to square one.
- Becoming a professor at a private uni is a joke. You only need a university degree and knowing the vice-chancellor or any other person who can hire you.
- Rich kids rarely go to a public uni because they really don't need to know stuff because a junior executive post is already waiting for them. Wannabe rich kids? Sure they do while putting up airs that such place is beneath them (had them at Business Management).
- There is at least one reported case on which a rich kid went to private uni (law school, which is regarded as one of the easiest) and not even money could give him the diploma because he was such a lazy bum and was more preocupied on creeping his way up the political party he was affiliated to. Not even switching bewteen unis worked and he hit 26 with just 2 out of 4 years complete. He spent eight years just doing nothing study-wise, until he got a seat on a regional government and the president of said regional govenrment called the uni to give the dude his diploma once and for all, and suddenly he completed 2 whole years in a few months. And from that point on, diplomas and master degres started falling on him, while he paraded tv programs tutting at his generation (incidentaly, mine) about being unemployed "because we didn't make an effort and waited for others to solve our problems". Now he's the head of his party and I get heartburn just by looking at him. Oh, and no one sets things straight (you would think the currently governing parties would do something just to get rid of a political rival) because most political public office people are suspected of having done the same. Yay.
